I know, I know — it's not yet Halloween, but all of my favorite shops are already preparing for Christmas, so I guess, so am I. And if that makes you shrug, I implore you to just take a look at designer Evelina Kroon's new holiday collection with IKEA, and then try and tell me you're not as excited for the holidays as I am.
For starters, Evelina is a perfect designer for IKEA to partner with. Not only is she a homegrown artist, but her Swedish sensibilities blend perfectly with IKEA's minimalist, utilitarian vision. Yes, her fresh designs, of which I found six highlights stashed among IKEA's new VINTERFINT collection, are unmistakably Christmas, but they also telegraph a clear interest in both the holiday spirit and interior design. With her funky cubic prints and colorblock patterns, the designer has brought her signature style to the masses... and, despite what I said earlier, not a moment too soon.
